Director of Research's Message
Thank you for your interest in research at the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Northwestern University. We seek to be a catalyst for cutting-edge integrative medicine research that transcends biomedical and social/life science disciplines through synergy and collaboration with university-based clinical departments, centers and institutes; community-based organizations and initiatives; and policy-making bodies.
Our integrative medicine clinical research studies are based on:
- Rigorous methodological approaches and designs to advance the state of the science
- Multilevel measurement systems that span patient-reported, bio-behavioral and physiologic outcomes
- Translational and team science-based orientations to assure that findings lead to scalable, affordable and accessible solutions in real-world settings
It is an honor to step into the role of Director of Research for the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Northwestern University. I want to begin by expressing deep appreciation for the extraordinary leadership of my predecessor, Dr. Judith T. Moskowitz, whose vision, mentorship, and tireless commitment to advancing integrative health science have left a lasting impact on our Center. Under her guidance, our research program flourished, expanding its reach, strengthening cross-disciplinary collaborations, and cultivating a culture of rigor, compassion, and innovation.
As I take on this role, I do so with great gratitude and with a sense of excitement for what lies ahead. I look forward to building on this strong foundation, supporting new partnerships, and helping shape the next chapter of integrative health research at Northwestern and beyond.
